Mommy-Skills

I am sitting here holding him, rocking him to sleep--he is sick. I know how to care for a sick person but there are times when he's sick, I am at a loss for what to do.

Being a Mommy takes a lot of skill...at least to do it well. (I am reluctant to say "right" because there is always debate about what's right and what's wrong.) Skills for things (dancing, writing, singing, typing) comes naturally for the basic necessities (rhythm, hand-eye coordination) but it also requires training. Ask those questions of professionals and those Mommies before you and near you. Being a Mommy requires training at some point because no matter how many children you have, you never have the "same" child again.

My suggestion: contact your local Social Service office or Community Center for resources on parenting. They are there and always are wanting Mommies to check out what they have to offer.

Books for Mom-tips are great, too.

Blessings to you other Moms who are striving to do it well,
Aurellia
